Love's Gate

Angebote / Angebote:

This book, spiritual in nature, bears witness through poetry and clay sculpture of the experience of divine essence. The soul journeys home through love's gate, love is the way deeper into life, and it is the gate that opens out of pain and into peace. Lynne McCarthy walks this meridian, this portal, her poems and sculptures-deeply personal and at the same time lightly liturgical-speak quietly with you, and chant the holy phrases of the perennial. They take you with her through her own becoming, and they also seem to say prayers for your own pilgrimage through love's gate. Poet Mark Tredinnick, winner of the Montreal and the Golden Antelope International Poetry Prize (China) and author, most recently, of A Beginner's Guide, writes this about McCarthy's book: Here are sculptures caught at the still center of their dervish dances of devotion, here are poems that could almost be the songs that the ecstatic dances of these stilled dervishes divined. In Lynne McCarthy's poems, as in her sculptures, play becomes holy again-both serious and delightful. These poems are at once prayers and playlists-liturgies of play, recipes for arrival back into Self and place and moment, intercessions with the divinities on behalf of all beings, in particular the lowly, and invitations to Home. Read these poems and delight again in your life.
